DIY Face Wash

Today Lauren and I found a homemade face wash recipe and decided to give it a try!
The Ingredients:
Castor Oil
Olive Oil (or Sunflower Oil)
Tea Tree Oil (optional)
Total cost: $5.00 Since I already had Tea Tree oil and Olive oil laying around at home all I had to buy was the Castor oil, which only cost $5.00!



Oily Skin: 2 or 3 parts castor oil to 1 part olive oil
Normal Skin:1 part castor oil to 1 part olive oil
Dry Skin: 1 part castor oil to 2 or 3 parts olive oil

Lauren and I decided to do the oily skin combination. we mixed the oils together then just added a couple drops of tea tree oil that helps with acne. The castor oil acts as a make up remover and dirt remover while the olive oil keeps a balanced pH and helps keep the natural oils of the skin.
  We were worried about it leaving our skin feeling really oily but it actually feels really healthy and not oily.
To Use:
Rub face wash on face for about one minute.
Take a HOT wash cloth and lay it on your face for about 1 min or until it cools to room temp.
We microwaved our washcloths since the tap water didn't get as hot as we wanted.
Next wipe the oil off the face with the wash cloth and enjoy your baby butt soft skin!(:
 

 We also bought Witch Hazel to use as a toner after we used the face wash.
